Welcome to Class 6

Teacher: Mr Lambe

Teaching Assistant: Mrs Vaughan

Our Learning

Our R.E topic this half term is focusing on 'Jesus, the Bread of Life'. We will identify how to follow in Jesus' footsteps in our day to day lives. We will also learn about Passover and how it came to be. Finally, we will learn about the sacraments and how we can 'go in peace to love and serve the Lord'. Our Creative Curriculum topic for the spring term centres around South America. You can find out more about our topic and the work that we will be covering throughout this term by downloading the Spring Term Planner -  which can be found under the 'Files to Download' section of our class page. 

We actively encourage all children to read as much as possible as home. Please help to support our in class learning by encouraging your child to read a range of genres reguarly at home. Your child has a reading book that is provided by school but in Class 6 we allow pupils to bring their own appropriate books in from home. 

Spelling tests will be held weekly (on Fridays) to ensure all children are practising the spelling patterns for Year 6 age related expectation as these are both many and very specific. 

PE

Please ensure your child has a full named PE kit in school everyday. Clothing should be suitable to the activites that we will be doing, trainers are more suitable footwear for outdoor sessions than pumps and your child may wish to bring jogging bottoms and a jumper throughout the winter months. 

Homework

Maths and English homework is given out every Thursday and must be returned by the following Monday.

Spellings will be given out on a Friday and will be tested the following Friday.

Useful websites to support home learning: 

• My Maths 
• SPAG.com 
• Times Table Rockstars

We encourage all pupils to access these websites on a weekly (and sometimes daily) basis. If you have difficulty accessing the internet or these websites at home, please let me know and I will arrange a time for your child to access the school's computing suite.

Communication 

I am always happy to discuss any worries, concerns or general queries you may have. Please feel free to see me after school, once all children have been dismissed, or make an appointment through the school office.
